The Sacred Heart Prep girls' basketball team made its first West Bay Athletic League (Foothill Division) victory a big one, upending first-place and host Menlo School, 48-47, on Tuesday night. The Gators improved to 1-2 in league (13-4 overall) while the Knights fell to 2-1 and 12-5.
SHP 5-foot-7 senior Melissa Holland, matched up against 6-4 Menlo senior Drew Eldeman all night, played an outstanding game and led all players with a season-high 29 points and double-digit rebounds. Holland also factored in the winning points.
With seven seconds on the clock and the score tied, Holland took the ball the length of the court and was fouled on the way to the basket with 1.5 seconds on the clock. After missing the first free throw, Holland made her second attempt for the victory.
